Chapter 418: Occasional Golden Fruit
The good news of Shazhou was carefully sorted out by the pharmacist and handed over to Dongfang Shuo. Dongfang Shuo, with his consistently excellent writing, wrote a flowery report and handed it to Emperor Kaicheng. Emperor Kaicheng asked the chief royal butler to read it out on the Xuanzheng Hall in a unique electronic sound, which immediately triggered a wave of unstoppable singing praises from the ministers.
This good news erased the last trace of scruples about sending troops in the court. Qiu Feiying, the lieutenant of the Shence Army, immediately went out to take an oath that he would defend Chang'an City for Emperor Kaicheng and eliminate his worries about Baiyinyi's army.
At this moment, after a round of purge, nearly 50,000 soldiers received a high compensation from Lei Changye, or disarmed and returned to the field, or turned to join the Baiyin Volunteer Army. The remaining 70,000 middle and senior generals of the Shence Army were dismissed in the purge one after another, and the generals who dared to do things at the grassroots level were selected by Qiu Feiying and the pharmacists at all levels and held key military positions.
Lei Changye also regularly brought the grassroots generals in the Shence Army to the southern camp of Baiyinyi Cong, and mixed with the Baiyinyi Congjun for training.
In order to make the Baiyinyi army and the Shence army improve their combat power in a short period of time as soon as possible, Lei Changye had a wit and circled a fixed battlefield in the Prancing Circus, making this battlefield exactly the same as Xiao Guan, and setting up special enchantments and battlefield rules, so that the Baiyinyi army and the Shence army were divided into offensive and defensive armies for actual combat. Through this simulated battlefield of real knives and guns, the ingenuity of soldiers and generals on both sides is stimulated.
As the defenders, the Shence Army defended Xiaoguan as if it were Chang'an City. The Baiyin Yi army used the besieging side to carry out actual combat sieges. When both sides are in a fierce battle, they can use the donkey-style camel cart and the thunder sword man designed by Lei Changye.
Although this is similar to the Xihu soldiers in the Leaping Circus who fought against Lei Changye's divine sense. But the key change is in the strength of the opponent's ability. The Xihu soldiers controlled by Lei Changye are too powerful, not only their combat power is amazing, but they also cooperate with each other tacitly, the generals have a strong overall view, and the dispatch is orderly.
Hundreds of thousands of people need to get together to keep warm before they dare to face such a powerful Xihu soldier. However, when the Shence Army and Bai Yinyi's army fought against each other, both sides clearly felt that the opponent had become weaker.
When the Shence army felt that when guarding the pass, the momentum of Bai Yinyi's army attacking the city was far weaker than that of the Xihu soldiers, and the fight could come and go, not as one-sided as before.
Bai Yinyi joined the army and felt that the Shence army was half selling and half giving away to defend the city, where can it be defended in this way?
The strength of both sides gave each other the hope of victory, so once the battle was immediately on the head, fighting each other to win, clever strategies, endless, the application of donkey camel carts and thunder sword people is also full of tricks, and in the end, even the generals on both sides have played a real fire, everyone threw their helmets on the ground, took the lead, and fought bravely? It stimulates every bit of potential in the body.
A siege can last a month.
Fortunately, the time in the Prancing Circus is not the same as the real time? Otherwise, it will not be able to finish the fight until the end of the Western Expedition.
The first siege simulation battle lasted for a full twelve hours, and in the end, half of Bai Yinyi's army died, and finally all the defenders of the Shence Army were killed? Occupied Xiao Pass.
The outcome of this battle? The top brass of both legions were extremely dissatisfied. Xuan Jin and the high-level leaders of the Wumeng who assisted her both felt that there were too many dead people during the siege, which was an astonishing loss for Bai Yinyi's army.
Qiu Feiying and his subordinates combined? It's all tears. Under the onslaught of the same number of Baiyin Yi soldiers, they could barely hold on for a month even if they had all the brains of the Divine Ce Army? The combat power is also too far behind.
After the first sim battle? The enthusiasm for the training of the Shence Army and the Baiyin Volunteer Army has risen. Qiu Feiying even brought the entire battalion to the southern camp of the Baiyinyi Army for joint training.
In this fiery large-scale military training, the new Baiyinyi soldiers from all over the country who had arrived in Nanying grew up rapidly, and soon approached the mental state and training level of actual combat.
Lei Changye refined all the three workshop drawings under his command into a three-grade magic weapon during this time, and then ran it day and night. At the same time, he also mobilized all the attendants and crew drawn by Wu Daozi to go to Yuying Valley to cut wood? Enough to make 300 camel carts and 300 Thunder Sword Men Iron Willow.
But when it came to making the skeleton of the Thunder Sword Man? Wang Mang brought bad news. The skeleton structure of the Thunder Sword Man designed by Lei Changye was too fine, and when it was subjected to powerful Dao Methods, it would cause overheating, deformation and distortion.
Lei Changye tried to produce a few Thunder Sword People. When they cast the Five Elements Thunder Method, sure enough, the skeletons of their arms and spine were all deformed. But Lei Changye can't replace them with refractory wire willow wood, because there will be great losses when conducting thunder? It also generates a high temperature to grill the entire Thunder Sword Man from the inside, turning it into a Carbon Man.
Lei Changye remembered the strange treasures he collected in the Southern Witch Kingdom? There seems to be a strange metal that not only matches the Five Elements Thunder Method? Smooth conduction and tough structure? Far better than ordinary steel.
It's just that this strange treasure seems to have life? Is it a living metal? Will run around on its own. As soon as I put it in Yuying Valley, I ran away.
At the beginning, Wu Daozi and he looked for this kind of strange treasure everywhere for a while, but there was no trace of it. At that time, Lei Changye and Wu Daozi were busy with other things, so they put it aside for the time being. Now that there is a demand, Lei Changye feels that he should look for it again.
He stepped on the colorful auspicious clouds and soared over the Yuying Valley. Because the last time he and Wu Daozi were looking for metal treasures, he had made a note of the areas he had searched, so this time he put all his energy into the areas that he had not searched.
As he had sifted through the last, most unlikely areas of the snow, he thought that the metal treasure might have buried itself deep in the earth, and that it would take three feet to dig to find it.
Lei Changye regretted it slightly. Although he felt that this piece of metal had the breath of life, he was still subconsciously bound by its metallic form, feeling that even if it was alive, it couldn't run. I didn't expect it to not only be able to run, but also to hide.
In desperation, he had no choice but to start thinking about whether to give up this Thunder Sword Man's design, or consume the jade talisman to make the Thunder Sword Man's painted body, so that they could walk out of the painting box and enter the battlefield.
However, because the thunder method launched by the Thunder Sword People is a third-grade, which is equivalent to their rank, it is necessary to consume extremely high jade talismans to maintain their form. If one person consumes five hundred jade talismans, one hundred people is fifty thousand. And it only lasts for a month. Even if the Western Expedition ends in one month, maintaining the operation of the Western Regions requires the Thunder Sword People to continue to play a role, in this case, to maintain the use of the Thunder Sword People for a year, it is 600,000 jade talismans.
Lei Changye's jade talisman was not blown by the wind.
At this moment, Lei Changye's eyes suddenly flashed by a brilliant reflected light. He looked sideways in amazement, and the sunset on the horizon was shining on a towering pine tree.
Every pine needle, every bark, every pine cone on the pine tree is reflecting the dazzling sunlight, like a Christmas tree full of colorful lights. At this moment, the magnificence of this pine tree blinded the kryptonite dog eyes of Lei Changye.
"Hey, you're here!" Lei Changye was overjoyed, and drove the colorful auspicious clouds to fall under the giant tree that reflected the light of the sunset all over its body.
Under the giant tree, there are dense pine cones. Lei Changye leaned over to pick one up, and looked carefully, each pine cone was metallic.
Lei Changye could feel the vitality transmitted to his palm through the pine cone. The vitality on this pine cone seems to be stronger than that of ordinary beasts.
Lei Changye immediately used the spiritual language technique in Mozi's Five Elements Chronicle of the Mystic Method, and used his divine sense to try to establish a spiritual communication channel with this pine cone. However, he didn't have any ready-made spirit words to communicate with metal life, and could only fine-tune around the spiritual level of the Cordyceps Emperor, which most resembled plants.
To his surprise, after more than a dozen fine-tunings, he magically found the level of intelligence to communicate with Songguo. This pine cone is slightly higher than the half-plant Cordyceps Emperor's spiritual level.
"Uh...... Hello?" asked Lei Changye tried.
"Hello, Eun Gong. "There was a clear psychic exchange from the pinecones.
"Engong?" Lei Changye was stunned.
"yes. It was you who put me here from the unaccustomed Nanwu, and now I have grown into a towering tree. So said the wisdom of the soncone.
"Oh, you're not a pine cone, you're this golden tree!" Lei Changye hurriedly raised his head and looked at the huge golden pine tree.
"I am the ancestor of the ancient gold, which means that you can breathe gold and stone. The armor and the giant axe of the ancient saint Chiyou are all from me. Jin Pine said in a smug tone.
"So there was a cooperation between you and the higher intelligent beings?" Lei Changye keenly grasped the key to its words.
"Exactly. Engong, because of your magical land, I am now in its heyday. In return, I am willing to offer the pine cone in your hand, which is the essence of my gathering - the golden fruit. The Breath Gold Fruit can change into the form that the owner wants according to the master's divine sense. They're not my strongest form, though, so they can't withstand too much impact. As a divine soldier, it is still a little worse than a divine armor. ”
"I understand, I want such a structure, I need to withstand the transmission of the Five Elements Thunder Method, I don't know if the Breath Golden Fruit can stand it?" Lei Changye closed his eyes and used his divine sense to outline the skeleton form of the Thunder Sword Man and its core formation structure.
"It's a great opportunity. If the Earning Fruit accepts the refining of this Five Elements Thunder Method for a long time, it will evolve to a more advanced form, that is, the Earning King Fruit form. This kind of interest gold fruit can be used as a divine weapon. If Engong can evolve more Jinguo, I will also evolve into the Golden King Tree. Jin Pine said excitedly.
"In this case, I'll take a little more interest and go out. "Lei Changye was overjoyed.
"The more the merrier. ”
